"There's a Kangaroo, "Point(s) Burrum as his well trained eyes catch the twitch of furry ears above a hakea bush."It's Bigga than most. It's a rool Bute."

"Where? I dinna Seaham, "says Sandy.

Suddenly the boomer gets Winda Woppa meth breath emanating from our two drunks and bounds away.

"Nooroo is goin' tae get awey frae me," hollers the i-Nimmitabel Scot and Sandy Gallop(s) off after it, blindly thrashing his way through the scrub. He's Hartley able to walk, let alone run.

"Sandy Creek!" yells Burrum.

But Sandy does not Cedar Creek. It is not Innes View, and Sandy Falls, Wellard. Macks Flat on his face on The Rocks and he pulls up a bit Sorlie."I woona cared Butmaroo got awey," cries McDougall.

All this chasing after kangaroos is Tyringham. He is not Baringhup well. "Make No Mistake, I'm a Weeraman, Burrum. Ye Goondah 'ave tae Pinnaroo down by yerself. What's Thagoona do, laddie? Willyaroo just stand still and let ye nab it? I doubt it but ye Kenmore aboot these things than I do," says Sandy." Yagur ahead. I'll be Laggon behind but I'll catch up."

"Oakey dokey," replies Burrum. You can Pinjar hopes on me. I am going Oberon the other side of the bush. There is nothing else on Ophir here."

But Burrum isn't walking so good himself and he doesn't Watchem tree roots. He takes a nasty Tumbalong the way and in the Tumbulgum tree branches, which are lying all over the ground, rip a large hole in the seat of his pants.

Burrum staggers back onto his feet. He is in Lucknow. He comes across a wombat hole and as he peers deep inside he is sure that he can see the carcass of a dead kangaroo. Some poachers have recently Gundaroo but the Gunebang alerts the nearby authorities so the poachers Jamberoo in the hole and take to Bungan Head of it down the very end of the tunnel. Burrum tries to Taperoo with his hand but he can't reach. Next he tries to Pokataroo with a stick but it is still too far away. "Walleroombie for me," he wonders out aloud. In the end, Burrum crawls into the tunnel, which gets Narrawa and Narrawa, until he is stuck fast Medway.

Eventually Sandy comes sauntering along and Burrum calls out to him. At first Sandy can't find him but after awhile he locates The Entrance.

"Burrum, are Euruderee?"

'Yass," shouts Burrum, relieved to have been discovered.

"Forsooth, what 'ave Eudunda deserve this? How did you Gurrundah 'ere? Thar's Narooma fer me in 'ere," says Sandy as he squeezes himself, head first, into the hole. Suddenly he manages to open his eyes and look up only to be confronted by one Burrumbuttock.

"Michty Me!" exclaims Sandy. "Warrobil sight. Cover Yarras will ye lad. All I can see is yer flamin' Buttai."
